Special Admission Criteria and Processes

Are you a high school or homeschool student looking for college credit now?

Dual Enrollment allows students who are currently enrolled in high school who qualify under the Postsecondary enrollment Act to use funding from their K–12 district or the Department of Treasury to pay for classes taken at Schoolcraft.

Students not eligible for funding under the Postsecondary Enrollment Act may choose to be dual enrolled, but students/parents would be responsible for payment.

Here’s how you complete your enrollment process:

Meet with your high school counselor/home school official to determine your eligibility for dual enrollment under the postsecondary Enrollment Act.

Return the completed High School Dual Enrollment Application, current transcripts and most current academic transcripts, assessment scores (ACT, ACT PLAN or SAT) to the Admissions and Welcome Center or Fax documents to 734-462-4552. Additional testing may be required.

An acceptance letter will be mailed to you with your Schoolcraft student number.

First time Dual Enrolled at Schoolcraft? Students taking classes at Schoolcraft for the first time need to speak to a Schoolcraft senior advisor/counselor prior to being eligible to register for courses. You may schedule an on-campus appointment of a phone appointment by calling 734-462-4429. Please identify yourself as a High School Dual Enrolled Student.

Register for Classes. Information about the registration process, including important deadlines, can be found on our website and in our online registration guide.

Are you currently attending another college or university and looking to save some time and money? By taking a Schoolcraft class or two during a semester break or online, you can free up time for a part-time job, internship, or student activities, and shorten the time to complete a bachelor’s degree, which can also save you money with Schoolcraft’s lower tuition rates.
